Abstract

A shroud for use with a submergible pumping system. The shroud is disposed over a submergible motor and includes fluid channels for conducting heat away from the submergible motor. The shroud is formed from a sheet material, such as sheet metal, to permit its use in wellbores having a narrow annular space between the submergible pumping system and the interior surface of the wellbore casing. The sheet material includes longitudinal corrugations to facilitate fluid flow while strengthening the construction of the shroud.
